16. Site functionalities

16.1. Use of Vimeo Videos

On our website, plugins of the video portal Vimeo of Vimeo, LLC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA are embedded. When you access a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Vimeo’s servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Vimeo directly to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, Vimeo receives the information that your browser has called up the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Vimeo account or are not currently logged in to Vimeo. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a Vimeo server in the USA and stored there.

If you are logged in to Vimeo, Vimeo can immediately assign your visit of our website to your Vimeo account. If you interact with the plugins (e.g., pressing the start button of a video), this information is also transmitted directly to a Vimeo server and stored there. If you do not want Vimeo to assign the data collected via our website directly to your Vimeo account, you must log out of Vimeo before visiting our website. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Vimeo as well as your related rights and privacy settings can be found in Vimeo’s privacy policy: https://vimeo.com/privacy

For videos from Vimeo that are embedded on our site, the tracking tool Google Analytics of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland, is automatically integrated. This relates to Vimeo’s own tracking which we do not have access to, and which cannot be influenced by our site. Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States, where it may also be transmitted to servers of Google LLC.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for the reading of information on the end device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR. Without this consent, Vimeo-Videos will not be used during your visit to the website.

You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service in the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.

16.2. Use of YouTube Videos

This website uses the YouTube embedding function for display and playback of videos offered by the provider YouTube, which belongs to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 ESW5, Ireland (“Google”).

To this end, the extended data protection mode is used to ensure, according to provider information, that user information will only be stored once the playback function of the video is started. When the playback of embedded YouTube videos is started, the provider sets “YouTube” cookies to collect information about user behavior. According to indications from YouTube, the use of those cookies is intended, among other things, to record video statistics, to improve user-friendliness and to avoid improper actions. If you are logged in to Google, your information will be directly associated with your account when you click on a video. If you do not wish to be associated with your profile on YouTube, you must log out before activating the button. Google saves your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact YouTube to exercise this right. When using YouTube, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

Regardless of whether the embedded video is played back, a connection to the Google network “double click” is established when visiting this website. This may trigger further data processing beyond our control.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for the reading of information on the end device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR. Without this consent, Youtube-Videos will not be used during your visit to the website. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service in the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.

16.4. Applications for job advertisements using a form

On our website, we offer those interested in a job the possibility to apply online using an appropriate form. In order to be included in the application process, applicants must provide us with all personal data required for a well-founded and informed assessment and selection. The required data includes general personal information (name, address, telephone or electronic contact details) as well as performance-specific evidence of the qualifications required for a position. Where appropriate, health-related information may also be required, which, in the interests of social protection, must be given special consideration in the applicant’s own person under labour and social law. In the course of sending the form, the applicant’s data will be encrypted according to the state of the art, transmitted to us, stored by us and evaluated exclusively for the purpose of processing the application.

The legal basis for these processing operations is generally Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b, in the sense of which passing through the application procedure is considered to be the initiation of an employment contract.

Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR (e.g. health data such as information on the status of severely disabled persons) are requested from applicants in the context of the application procedure, processing is carried out in accordance with Art. Art. 9 para. 2 lit. b. GDPR so that we can exercise the rights arising from labour law and social security and social protection law and fulfil our obligations in this respect.

Cumulatively or alternatively, the processing of the special categories of data may also be based on Art. 9 para. 1 lit. h GDPR, if it is carried out for purposes of preventive health care or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the applicant’s ability to work, for medical diagnosis, care or treatment in the health or social field or for the management of systems and services in the health or social field.

If, in the course of the evaluation described above, the applicant is not selected, or if an applicant withdraws his or her application prematurely, the data submitted on the application form will be deleted after 6 months at the latest after notification. This period is calculated on the basis of our legitimate interest in being able to answer any follow-up questions about the application and, if necessary, to comply with our obligation to provide evidence in accordance with the regulations on the equal treatment of applicants.

In the event of a successful application, the data provided will be further processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purposes of the employment relationship.

This site uses so-called web fonts from “FontAwesome”, a service of Fonticons, Inc, 710 Blackhorn Dr, Carl Junction, 64834, MO, USA (“FontAwesome”), for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to FontAwesome’s servers. This may also result in the transmission of personal data to FontAwesome’s servers in the USA. In this way, FontAwesome becomes aware that our website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of FontAwesome fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used. You can find more information about FontAwesome at: https://fontawesome.com/privacy

On this website we also use the reCAPTCHA function of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). This function is mainly used to distinguish whether an entry is made by a natural person or misused by automatic and automated processing. The service includes the sending of the IP address and possibly other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. The use of Google reCAPTCHA may also result in the transmission of personal data to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA and is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR, on the basis of our legitimate interest in determining the individual willingness of actions on the Internet and avoiding misuse and spam.

17.2 – Google Maps

Our website uses Google Maps (AP’I) of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (country) maps in order to display geographical information visually. Using this service will show you our location and will make it easier for you to find us. When you access the sub-pages that contain the Google Maps map, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers. When using Google Maps, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA. This is regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged in with or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your information will be directly associated with your account. If you do not wish to be associated with your profile on Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google saves your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. Such an evaluation takes place according to Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR, on the basis of the legitimate interests of Google in the insertion of personalized advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles. If you want to do so, you must contact Google to exercise this right.

If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google in the context of using Google Maps, you may completely deactivate the Google Maps web service by switching off the JavaScript application in your browser. In this case, Google Maps as well as the map display on this website cannot be used.

The Google terms of use can be found at: https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=en. The additional terms of use can be found at:
https://www.google.com/intl/en-US_US/help/terms_maps.html.

You can find detailed information on data protection in connection with the use of Google Maps on Google’s website (“Google Privacy Policy”) at:
https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

To the extent required by law, we have obtained your consent to the processing of your data as described above in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. In order to exercise your revocation, please  follow the procedure described above for submitting an objection.

18. Your data protection rights

Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

  1. Request information about whether we hold personal information about you, and, if so, what that information is and why we are holding/using it.
  2. Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
  3. Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
  4. Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
  5. Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
  6. Object to automated decision-making including profiling, that is not to be the subject of any automated decision-making by us using your personal information or profiling of you. We do not engage in any automated decision making.
  7. Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
  8. Request transfer of your personal information in an electronic and structured form to you or to another party (commonly known as a right to “data portability”). This enables you to take your data from us in an electronically useable format and to be able to transfer your data to another party in an electronically useable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
  9. Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

In the event that you wish to make a complaint about how your personal data is being processed by SprintRay, or how your complaint has been handled, you have the right to lodge a complaint directly with the supervisory authority who can be contacted as follows.

PRIVACY POLICY

At SprintRay Europe GmbH (”SprintRay“, “we”), the protection of personal data of our users (“you”) is very important.  Your personal data will only be processed in accordance with this privacy policy (“Policy”) and the relevant statutory provisions, in particular the European General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 (”GDPR“).
The following Policy applies to the processing of your personal data when using our website (the ”Website“).

1. Use of our offers

When using the Website, we process such personal data that your browser transmits to our server. These include the IP address, date and time of the request, Greenwich mean time (GMT) time zone difference, content of the request (the specific page), the access status or HTTP status code, the amount of data transmitted, the website from which the requirement comes, the browser used, the operating system and its interface as well as language and version of the browser software. Processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, as it enables the presentation of our website and serves in particular to ensure its stability and security.
1.2 Cookies
(a) General:
Cookies are small text files placed on your device to store data that can be recalled by a web server. We use cookies [and similar technologies] for storing and fulfilling your preferences and settings, enabling you to sign in, providing interest-based advertising, analyzing how our products perform, and fulfilling other legitimate purposes.
We provide a transparent explanation to enable you to control the use of your personal data by adapting your cookie settings.
(b) Types of Cookies
We differentiate between cookies that are essential for the technical functions of the Website and optional cookies, including statistical, marketing or third party
media cookies.
“Essentials”
These are necessary for the technical operation of the Website. Some functions on our website cannot be offered without these cookies.
“Statistics”
In order to further improve our offer and our website, we collect anonymized data for statistics and analysis. With the help of these cookies we can, for example, determine the number of visitors and the effect of certain pages on our website and optimize our content.  Analysis cookies and tags enable us to generate overall statistics, e.g., about the number of views, which areas of the website are viewed most often and information about locations and the duration of the average stay on the website. This allows us to improve the quality and content of our website.
“Marketing”
Allow us to follow visitors on the Website, to show you relevant and appealing advertisements or to have them shown by third parties.
“Third Party Media”
Contents of video, streaming and social media networks are blocked by default. If you accept these cookies you will be able to access these contents without giving manual further permission. As they are placed not by us but other parties, these companies use and process the data they obtain in accordance with their own privacy policies, which may enable them to collect and combine information about your activities across websites, apps, or online services.
Some of the cookies we use are automatically deleted after the browsers are closed (so-called session cookies), others remain permanently on your device and allow us to recognize your browser (so-called persistent cookies).
(c) Controlling Cookies / Legal Basis / Consent:
The use of marketing, tracking or analysis cookies requires your prior express consent without which they will not be stored. We request this via the cookie banner when you start using the Website, which informs you about our cookie policy and gives you the option of refusing or granting your consent for all or certain types of cookies.
You can make or change your cookie settings or revoke the consent you have given without stating reasons at any time: Cookie Options
If you give us your consent, the legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.  We use essential or technically necessary cookies based on our legitimate interest of being able to operate and provide a functioning website.
You also have a variety of technical tools to fully control the use of cookies.  For example, you can use control settings of your internet browser to limit how the websites you visit are able to use cookies, delete cookies in your browser, disable the storage of cookies completely or selectively accept certain cookies and withdraw your consent by clearing or blocking cookies.
This may limit the functionality of our Website.
1.3. Google Analytics
On our Website we use Google Analytics with the extension “anonymizeIp”, a service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (” Google“) reporting us details about how you and others use our Website.  As a result, IP addresses from within the member states of the European Union or the European Economic Area will be truncated before further processing by Google.  Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. A personal identification can thus be excluded. Insofar as the data collected about you becomes identifiable, it will be immediately excluded and the personal data will be deleted immediately.
The legal basis for our use of Google Analytics is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.  On our behalf, Google will use the data obtained to evaluate your use of our website, to compile reports on Website activity and to provide us with other services related to website usage and internet usage. The purpose of the processing is to analyze and optimize our Website.
You can prevent the storage of cookies through appropriate settings in your browser, for example by generally deactivating the automatic setting of cookies. In this case, functions of this website may no longer be used properly. In addition, you may prevent the collection of the data related to your use of the website (including your IP address) as well as their transmission to and processing by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
Google may also processes your personal information in the United States and has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. For more information about Google’s data collection and processing, please refer to Google’s Privacy Policy, which can be found at  https://policies.google.com/privacy.
1.4 Social Media
We do not use social media plug-ins. However, at various points on our website, we offer you the opportunity to visit our social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, Vimeo and LinkedIn.  If you click on the respective logo or the name of a social network, you will be forwarded via a link to our page on the respective social media website.
Before you click on the respective logos or links, no personal data will be transmitted to the social media. The possibility of personal data being transmitted to and processed by the respective social network only exists from the moment you click on the logo on our website and are forwarded to the social media website. In particular, if you are logged in with your respective social media account at the time of forwarding, personal data processing will occur. In addition, however, data – such as your IP address – can be processed if you do not have a social media account.
We have no influence on the collected data and data processing operations, nor are we aware of the full extent of data collection, the purpose of the processing, the retention periods or the deletion of the data, by the respective social media.
